To support teachers in the midst of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, TeachLab is switching our focus to highlight tools and strategies for effective teaching during this time. Today we talk with Michael Pershan. He is a New York City math teacher at one of the first schools in the country to shut down in the face of COVID-19. At his school, the goal was to transition fully to synchronous distance learning. Michael joins Justin Reich to discuss what we know about online and distance learning, and what's feasible for a math teacher to do.

  • Michael’s experience and challenges in the midst of Coronavirus
  • How to create a base for kids to keep learning
  • Issues of synchronous online learning
  • Alternative methods of distance learning
  • Looking at the needs of different age groups and those who need extra support
  • Equity issues around access and technology
  • Strategy and planning in the midst of emergencies
